Sustainability of Railway Tracks
Abstract The infrastructural growth of the railways has brought the railway track sustainability into a fresh perspective. Safe, stable, durable, and sustainable tracks are of paramount importance for the efficient function of the railways. In this paper, the development of the railway track from its inception to the present-day scenario has been presented. Numerous studies, conducted by researchers all over the world, that are aimed at studying the track response and improving its performance have been discussed. The analytical and numerical models developed to study the stresses and deformations in the track structure have been examined. It has been established that reinforcement of the track structure with geosynthetics reduces its settlement, increases the bearing capacity, and improves the drainage performance.
